I have been observing you and I can't help but wonder if actually you are a citizen of Edo....
I'm Edo and know very well the people,region that are a huge burden to us all in this nation especially to us SS and the SE people.. look at the four arms of govt, the presidency,the senate,the house of rep and the judiciary,where do you find a SS or SE person at the helms of affairs? Do you wanna mention Omo agege?
Among Buharis service chiefs,do you have a SE person represented? Who are the people that owns virtually all the oil wells in our Delta? Who are the people controlling our oil wealth? Who controls the maritime sector? I work at sea and u know everything about the maritime sector and all the bulshhhy happening in places like NIMASA.
Who are the people opposing resources control,true federalism? Who are the people opposing total restructuring of the country?
Who are the people against sovereign national conference?
....and when one takes a look at some of your posts,they are virtually all Igbo this,Igbo that!!!!!

Very strange..
Wow I am now a celeb grin you took the time to observe me lol

By the way face your SE and don't attach yourself to Ẹdo.

If you're truly Ẹdo you should have seen where they talk down on Ẹdo.

If you are truly Ẹdo you should have seen where they say Ẹdo cannot have its own nation

If you're Ẹdo you should have seen where they try to play divide and conquer strategy between the different Ẹdo clans

If you are Ẹdo you won't be taking their side

I am just cool with you because you claim to be Ẹdo

You don't have to believe all those craps,we ain't in medieval times no more.
Edo is a nation on its own in the first place and we ain't afraid to stand alone...there are a lot of small nations all over the world and they are doing very well,far better than this shhhthol!!!!

I'm not taking anybody's side for nothing,all I'm for is to join hands first,first with progressives to liberate us, southerners especially us down south from the clutches and parasitic grip of the internal colonialists.... After all,it is said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend....
It's no use for the SW,the SS and the SE fighting eachother,the parasites up will continue to take advantage for its own benefits.... Life is simple if people can really humble themselves and come together.... We southerners should put our God given intelligence to use and come together and liberate ourselves first from the parasites and sort out ourselves later,simple.


@ the bolded up there,only a bastard would deny his heritage and claim that of another man.

Koyo..

I will reduce my rates of attacks on them for your sake and I hope they stop their attacks on us as well otherwise I won't have any choice than to resume hostilities, it's like telling Israel not to attack when Hamas attacks them.

By the way your moniker shows you are attacking some people in the west grin

Really? I got a guy here telling us Palestinians are not oppressed and black Americans are not oppressed and I bet if we asked him he'd say Igbos are not oppressed neither and you have to move on.

Care to help him with his floundering argument because he seems to be needing it.
What oppression?
The few cases I'm aware of (including my village in Imo State) the Osu among us don't get disrespected in anyway.
They own their lands, they own businesses, they build houses, they partake of every social events in my community that they care to.
Only place the line is drawn is having them married to those who are deemed as non osu.
Moreover, in the event a marriage is contracted without the community becoming aware at the onset and tried to stop it, the marriage stays.
Except the couples themselves decided to part ways due to pressure, the community doesn't take steps to nullify the marriage. They only try to prevent it.

When you say oppressed, you give the impression that they aren't allowed to farm, to use the community stream, to buy and sell at the markets, or to even have friends among the community.

Many of them like to live outside their communities or states, where they become very successful. Some of the best looking houses in my community are owned by them, and another thing I noticed is that, they themselves are very selective of the people they marry (in terms of physical appearance) which ensures they produce beautiful children.

Two years ago, my community hosted a beauty pageant and the winner was this devastatingly beautiful damsel wẹ later found out her parents were osu.

Honestly, we don't regard it with much seriousness in my community. We've learnt from so called freeborns who married osu and their lives have been bliss.

So in your mind you think that the bigoted troll you wrote all this explanation cares about the truth?

I don't understand you guys on this form. Where is the ako na uche?

You are very correct at my moniker. I opened it after the yoruba people teamed up with the north (same north,fulanis that have been and are still a huge problem,burden to us south today) 2014 to vote a known ethnic bigot like buhari to power against a fellow southerner!
But if you will notice on some of my posts,I always end with "ignore my moniker" and I'm considering putting it down maybe later.

As regards resuming hostilities,we should be aware that there are a lot of impostors on here who are hell bent on making sure the south remain divided and some mischievous old perves (like myself grin at times) just do it for fun....but there are few southerners from every side who especially the one s some fellas call "Y...mzlms" who are just die hard bitter against fellow south! Such hatred can never be for our good.
Haba! Come to think of it,we are all looking for the same thing!!!
Lagbaja sang,"na wetin you dey find,I dey find..."


Well you are free to do whatever you want o but all I know is,the Igbos are never our problem.

Our real enemies,the ones we should transfer our aggression to are the people sitting on top of our resources.....

Re: An Argument For The Economic Viability Of Alaigbo by budaatum: 2:50pm On May 27, 2021
I wonder what the so called osus would say about your claim that they are not oppressed.

There are some on here claiming the Igbos are not oppressed neither because they can do business where they want and marry who they want and farm where they want, so I wonder if you will agree with them and stop this your call for Biafra because "What oppression?"

After all, "Honestly, the rest of Nigeria don't regard the Igbo pain with much seriousness in their community"?

The wisdom in ignoring the oppression of others while touting your own oppression?

Can't see any myself, I must say, especially when you are reduced to baseless name calling.

Didn't know about him, and haven't taken note of him and his posts.
I make it a point never to respond to trolls and asswipes here.

We expect a Biafra that is strictly for the South East and Igbo groups who are interested and not what you writing up there. ok ? sad angry

Nnnaa. BIAFRA should be strictly SE and Igbos in SS who accept they are Igbos. At the moment,only Egbema,Obiigbo, Enu-ani and Isobo ( Indigenous Igbos of Obubra LGA of Cross River) fufill these criteria in SS.

Any non Igbo group that wants to join would have to send us a written proposal. Then we sit down and discuss terms and conditions with them.
USA we know today started with about just 13 states,other states saw how good it was and applied to join. Puerto Rico was the last to join or so. Success has many fathers.
Let's kick start it ourselves. And then give anyone else who wants to join criteria to meet to be part of us. We can even turn some of them down in the end if we don't think they have something to offer us or that they habour innate Igbophobia. grin
We are good to go on our own. Anyi Zulu ka eme! That's the Central theme of this thread. Ndiigbo anyi Kariri okwu! Anaghim agwa gi ka I Hari I gwa onye Ozo! Anyi akpughi mmili n'onu nwe n'ekwu. Obughi etom onu! Anyi na ekwu ihe mere eme life!

Interesting!

Workch:
I usually do not make posts on nairaland politics section but I have to address this charade of Senator Ndume as regards undermining the the contributions of southeast in Nigeria. I’m going to do this with Figures vis-à-vis the figures come north to show that northerners are conning people into staying in Nigeria, which is obviously failing.

Oil revenue and other
In 2017, the NBS released oil revenue figures of all Nigerian oil producing states which totals 32billion USD, assuming that we share the sentiment of subtly dissociating igbos in southsouth from their counterparts in Southeast, IMO and Abia combined accounted for 1.7% of this revenue, 1.7% of 32billion is 544million USD. It means that Imo and Abia brought 544million USD to Nigeria in 2017.

In this same year, southeast states received a total federal allocation of 152.9billion which is 459.1million USD using 333per dollar rate as it was obtainable in 2017.

Imo and Abia alone made 544million USD, this figure indicates that south east actually generated their own federal allocation. This cannot be said about the north’s humongous allocation, they feed from other south southern states


This will help create a picture to help you see who steals from who? Southeast earned every allocation they get, north steals from southsouth.
This is clearly seen as the total revenue generated in 2017, 65% of this was from oil while a substantial remaining Came from Lagos ports and business which igbos also contributed a large stake in terms of Importations of goods and federal taxes. Northerners don’t do importation a lot and they don’t have business paying taxes a lot.

We can hardly see the contribution of the northern states and their people here vis-à-vis the amount they get in term of allocations.


I am not an Igbo guy but it’s totally irrational to think that north is not the parasite here. They never earn whatever they get in Nigeria.

As matter of fact, aside Lagos and maybe ogun state and the oil producing states, other states include all 19northern states are parasites. None of them earn whatever they get.
